Sun: Full sun to part shade
Soil: Moist, fertile, nitrogen-rich; tolerates a range of soils

A vigorous perennial herb with deep green, serrated leaves and the familiar sting that gives nettle its name. Once properly cooked or dried, the leaves lose their sting and have long been used as a nourishing green and in herbal teas. Nettle has a long history in European and Western herbal traditions, where preparations of the leaves and roots have been used for a variety of traditional purposes, including supporting general nourishment and joint and urinary health. It is also notably rich in minerals and other plant nutrients. Nettles thrive in moist, fertile ground and can form substantial patches once established.
